Of particular concern between April 26 and May 3 is that Oak Bay police responded to nine abandoned 911 calls, Bernoties noted.

“If you misdial, please do not hang up; stay on the line and let the 911 operators know that you are okay so they do not have to spend time trying to call you back.”

Last wk #OakBay had nine “abandoned 911” calls. That's not uncommon but its a complete waste of resources. If you misdial, please do NOT hang up. Stay on the line & speak with the 911 operators so they do not have to spend time trying to call you back & we do not have to attend. pic.twitter.com/1I11l71D13

On Thursday an Oak Bay Police officer was on patrol at the University of Victoria when they observed two men on bicycles that appeared to be trying car door handles.

When confronted they evaded police. Police re-attended the parking lot and found the vehicles secure.

There were just two thefts from vehicles reported last week and both vehicles appeared to have been left unlocked. Items stolen included sunglasses, spare change and a wallet from the 2500-block Bowker Avenue and the 2600-block Burdick Road.
